Explosive, Invincible: BANGAI O!

Bangai-O's the bomb for sure.

That said, Zone of the Enders can get a bit Itano at times with the homing lasers.

I love ZotE.

By the way not many people seem to notice this, or maybe I just don't see much discussion about Bangai-O, but they redesigned it in each game.
See how different the Dreamcast Bangai-O is compared to the one in the cover of the N64 game.
Bangai-O was also different on Spirits and Missile Fury.

Yeah, although the latter two versions are complete overhauls.

Still, I'm disappointed that each successive game has less characters than the previous one, it was a part of the charm.

I didn't like the character design of Spirits as much as the original ones, since I never played Missile Fury, I don't know how they look there.
The dialogue and banter between the main characters and the NPCs/enemies on the original is genius.

Literally just Ban, but with a scratchy pencilled look, that's it.
>The dialogue and banter between the main characters and the NPCs/enemies on the original is genius.
One of my personal fave moments is the utter bafflement at encountering a guard cat.

I just watched some footage from Missile Fury. Damn, it feels barren without any characters, and Ban looks so serious, it's weird.
I also forgot the most important and probably the best feature of Bangai-O Spirits: the level editor.

I was watching this and it's kind of hilarious

Only one I ever played was the DS game. I really liked how it had a lot of character despite being a game where the characters don't show up beyond a few minutes in. The level editor was rad ass and I made my share of shit in the thing, makes me wonder if the sound based level transfer would work when sent as an audio file over the internet. Wish I had my DS with me so I could try it out.

>>15522210
It should.

>>15522217
I'm presuming that's why they implemented the strange audio based transfer method. The DS had perfectly fine wireless functions to transfer data with but instead they opted for this peculiar and somewhat janky method instead. I can only presume they wanted to give us the ability to share our shit online which is really funny when you think about it, the DS' online has long since been shut down alongside all the game servers but our ability to share levels is forever preserved as long as we have an audio recorder.

>>15522239
Treasure has generally always been known to go against the grain, even for transfer methods.

Anyone know where can I download the OST or any other Bangai-O related media?
They didn't make any anime, did they

>>15526136
They never did, but there are OSTs indeed.

>I don't remember if it was skippable or not.
i think you can, after they let you choose the tutorial level, pressing b will take you to the main menu, that or choose the last stage and beat it.
>mfw i managed to beat all the stages
>mfw i want more
bring out your custom stages faggots, even if they're brutal-mario bullshit tier. this game along with megaman powered up suffered of hacing glorious level editors that almost no one used it, there's like one fucking page that stores them for bangaioh spirits, and nothing else

Someone would need to find out what happened to Treasure first, they stopped doing anything after the Gaist Crusher games.
